Wildflowers - Poppy Seeds

The Poppy seeds for sale here come from several families of Poppy, but are not the kind of poppy seeds that you put into muffins! The most popular type of Poppy flower seed is the California Poppy, which graces calendar pictures worldwide with its profuse orange blooms that cover whole mountains in California each spring. It now comes in many other colors as well, such as yellow, red, white, and pink. The other kind of Poppy is called Papaver in the Latin, and has popular members like the Red Poppy that you see being sold by the American Legion in December. We also have the Iceland Poppy, which is a fast-growing poppy that can grow in cold climates.

As the name suggests, this hardy poppy comes from the arctic regions of North America and Europe. The first botanical records of this plant come from the mid-eighteenth century, most notably in Linnaeus' landmark publication Species Plantarum in 1753. Because of its high tolerance of cold temperatures, this wildflower graces many roadsides and fields in Alaska and northern Canada.

These golden wildflowers have been the state flower of California since 1903. Their habit of opening and closing with the sun makes them appropriate emblems for the Golden State; they also have a holiday all their own, since April 6 is official California Poppy Day. This poppy was the first identified member of the Eschscholzia genus, identified in 1816 by German botanist Adelbert von Chamisso on an exploratory voyage to California and the Pacific Northwest. Chamisso named the genus after a fellow botanist, Johann Friedrich von Eschscholtz, who accompanied him on the journey. In 1826, noted English botanist David Douglas gathered these California poppy seeds for the Royal Botanical Society; this poppy became one of the first American poppies to cross the ocean to Europe.
